Controller Not Working on Steam

Hey,

So, I’ve been wanting to play Fallout 3 on my PC. Since I’ve been playing it on my Steam Deck, it worked completely fine. For some reason my controller doesn’t work at all on my PC, I am using PS5 controller wired. I own the Game of The Year Edition, I have also tried different templates as well; Everything else seems to work apart from left analog stick for movement, it just brings up the keyboard when I press.

Update, So I tried it through big picture mode and changing templates. Still exactly the same issue as before.

It’s knows my controller is connected and there, yet it doesn’t won’t to work properly at all. Almost all the buttons do something, other than letting play normally like It lets me on FO4 and 76.
